Well, they could mean one of these:
Cheerleaders twirl them. The Swede are probably using them in a welcoming ceremony.
Or it could be one of these:
They're used in welcoming ceremonies too, but not by cheerleaders...

Despite Swedes' reputation as a peaceful and mild-mannered people, confiscations of batons at Stockholm's Arlanda Airport have exploded in 2016, Swedish state broadcaster SVT revealed. According to Swedish customs authorities, batons are being illegally ordered abroad by Swedish citizens for self-defense.Swedish authorities were obviously taken aback by the findings and failed to produce a reasonable explanation. We honestly do not know why people have started to smuggle more batons," Mats Pettersson argued. "Most people we talked to said they need batons to protect themselves and don't intend to use them for criminal activities," Mats Pettersson continued.

Next thing you know, we’re going to see a bunch of Swedish jokes about losing their batons in unfortunate boating accidents on the Gota canal.
I’m surprised that the Swedes haven’t all taken up baseball and acquired the proper equipment for baseball.
I hear Bonowi is used by the German Police. Here, Peacekeeper is the one I want (perimeter weighted), but only sold to Police/Security personnel.
Authorities puzzled? They should be stunned.
It’s not rocket science to make your own baton.
It’s not rocket science to buy a few long chef knives or hammers or hatchets or nail guns or etc.
For self defense people cannot count on police. Police take too long when you are faced with a killer. People want self-defense like Americans have. The right to own and carry.
It’s not rocket to put whatever in a sock and clock
Swedish authorities will remain puzzled until they are hanging from streetlights or beheaded by a muhammadin rabble.
A nice Sig .380 or 9 MM would be better...

I’m sticking with my Glock 23.
my favorite is a stun gun baton-legal because its a stun gun not a baton...even in Commiefornia.
in california if you have a baseball bat in your car don’t forget to have a glove and ball also..otherwise ruh roh.
That is excellent advice that I shall pass on to a certain Kali friend...
An increase in the popularity of marching bands?
A tad embarrassed to say that I only carried one shooter today.did take an extra mag though.

They should start with “T-ball” the small bats are easier to control and can be accelerated to a very nice “tip speed”.
Swedes are not allowed to own those?
Wow.
Of course they could be easily made using hardwood. I understand they have a lead core?
Also easy.
Baseball bats, bear spray, and brass knuckles would do fine.
